Jormungandr

[Verse 1] They called him the Midgard Snake Born in the black salt deep Too long for any kingdom Too old for any sleep He slid beneath the breakers Past spear and stone and flame Every shore learned to tremble When the water hissed his name [Pre-Chorus] He grew through storm and silence Through iron, frost, and foam And every path he took Brought him closer to his home [Chorus] He wrapped himself around the entire world (around the entire world) He wrapped himself around the entire world (around the entire world) Tail to tooth, the circle turned The seas kept turning, and the ages burned [Verse 2] He grasped his own tail In the dark below the light A ring of endless hunger A wound that never bites The wolves kept pace above him The gods looked on in fear But he just held the ocean And pulled the ending near [Pre-Chorus] No gate could hold him back No name could make him small He carried dusk and dawn Like a shackle made for all [Chorus] He wrapped himself around the entire world (around the entire world) He wrapped himself around the entire world (around the entire world) Tail to tooth, the circle turned The seas kept turning, and the ages burned [Bridge] He is the loop in the water The knot in bone and rain The lesson carved in moonlight That nothing stands the same [Final Chorus] He wrapped himself around the entire world (around the entire world) He wrapped himself around the entire world (around the entire world) Tail to tooth, the circle turned The seas kept turning, and the ages burned Jormungandr, under the world Jormungandr, still uncurled
